gaily decorated, flags flying from almost
every house and handsome arches being
erected across the streets at number oil
places. The visitors came by rail, In
vehicles and afoot, and the town seemed
to be nearly as full of people as 1t eould
be. From half-past zen 20 twelve O'Clock
the various visiting organizations were
given a free dinner at Rohrbaughs
lawn, where a great supply of eatables
had been provided.
At 100 p. M. the parade formed on

in which the home club and number
of visitors participated. The line OF

and the crowd slowly dispersed.
At night there was a splendid display
of fireworks. AT the corner of Queen

crossed, with star above and the word
"Welcome" below. This was lighted
with gas. The special pieces included

A Peculiar Occurrence.-Mr.
James Tenant, Waterman at the paper
mill at the river in ShepherdStown re-
ports a very peculiar event that happen
ed few days ago. He had an outline
across the river just below the wagon
bridge, which he was in the habit Of
batting in the evening and going over
in the morning to take the fish off.
Thursday morning one part of the line
felt very heavy, and as he raised it from
the water he saw musket and an eel
tangled up in the line. Investigation
showed that the eel had been caught on
the hook, and, seeking to pull itself
loose, had wrapped its tail around the
old muskct lying on the bottom of the
river and pulled it up to the line. In
its struggle the eel had gotten the line
wrapped around the gun, holding it so
that Mr.. Tenant was able to secure it.
During the war ferry-boat crowded
with Confederate soldiers was sunk at
that place, and about twenty Of them
were drowned The musket was doubt
less part OF the equipment of the SOL
diers, and has lain in the river ever
since. Although this story sounds like
a "fish tale" we assure our readers that
it is absolutely true, and Mr.. Tenan:
now has in his possession the gun so
strangely recovered.
